LOL. I am so like that! I installed three switches in my dash about 1 1/2 ago. They don't do anything yet except sit there looking cool.

Series makes 24 volts.

I see no smoke here.

I run the Rugged Ridge Tray + Smart isolator from Cole Hersee (CH-48525) with Dual Optima Yellow's ... the set up works sweet and was pretty cheap ... you can get the Smart Isolator from ASE Supply for approx $125 US if your looking for a alternate source for parts to build your own...

Wrangled: do you have a picture, a contact or a link to the mounting bracket that replaces the support to the shock mount. That sounds like just what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Steve

I only received half of my order from Benchmark, I finally had to file a complaint with Paypal. This was a while back and I've heard they've gotten a lot better, but the damage is done for me and I'll never order from them again....

I would go with Rugged Ridge in a heartbeat, but they didn't offer it at the time.

I need to get an isolator.
